Alabama Topography

The name Alabama comes from the Choctaw language, and means
"thicket clearers".
Northern Alabama lies in the heavily wooded Appalachian uplands. A
wide band of rich, fertile soil crosses the central portion of the state
while the Gulf coastal plain in southwestern Alabama consists largely of
swampland. The Mobile River and its tributaries — the Alabama
River and the Tombigbee River — form the chief river system.
